Yeah, kinda funny how it’s OK when there’s a bunch of neoliberal gangsters like larry summers behind it, right?

Well, except scumbags like eric adams, NYC’s bought-owned-and-operated-by-real-estate-interests mayor.

“I paid for this traffic light, therefore I want to use all three bulbs at once”

Yes, Eugene Debs, please.

• who was basically jailed on political pretexts but still…

I mean… yeah layoff a whole bunch of people and start treating your employees like replaceable commodities… then go ahead and arrogantly deploy technology you don’t understand and :surprisepikachu: everything breaks.

But management get to do things without personal consequence, as they’ll just lay off more workers to cover their absolute incompetence and things will continue to get worse.

Perhaps we should be replacing C-suite dipshits with AI’s instead.

Someone tell that to NY state’s gov.

The sun will start increasing in luminosity within a billion years, at which point it will be intense enough to cause rocks to begin soaking up CO2 to a point where photosynthesis will become difficult, and the planetary food chain will collapse.

The hour is much later than we think. Maybe another supercontinent cycle or so?

The hour’s growing late there. We needed to solve that problem before this technology became available. Just need useful life-extension technology and then it’ll just be a bunch of rich psychopaths running around the planet, and everyone else will be disposed of.

I recently had to hold my nose to see a band I’ve been following for a very long time.

The venue utterly sucked, treated like cattle, tighter security than getting on a plane flight. Pathetic.

Ticketmaster/livenation can go die in a fire.

Cunts.

It might help if they didn’t put all their efforts into killing Nitter and other useful frontends.

I managed to migrate all mine to libvirt when I dumped esxi. They dropped support for the old opteron I was running at the time, so I couldn’t upgrade to v7. Welp, Fedora Server does just as well and I’ve been moving the VM hosted services into containers anyway.

Ofc… well, we’ll see what IBM does with RedHat. Probably something like this eventually. They simply can’t help themselves.

No, most people would not.

Most people would share, or hit a point and think “OK, that’s enough for anything I really want personally… I’m gonna try and help out now…”

Nobody in their right mind should want a world where they are privately wealthy, but publically impoverished.
Because then, you have no security.
Someone will always be gunning for you.
You can stave it off by layering brute force, and laws, but there is no such thing as 100% secure. Eventually something will make it through, and wreak havoc. And because all you now care about, over everything, is whatever paltry “wealth” you’ve managed to secure, the catastrophe is magnified orders of magnitude. You have no real friends or community to turn to, nobody who would support you if you didn’t have the most, and the rules didn’t make you “king” because of it.

It’s a sickness.

I’m rather hoping RISC-V comes up and eats their lunch before it happens.

My reasoning for this is that I’ve lost too many hours trying to kludge finnicky ARM boards into supporting proper mainline video acceleration. It’s awful. It’s horrible. It’s a waste of time.

The silly x86 SBC I got worked out of the box with OneAPI with no complaints at all.

The ARM boards ran the gamut from gibberish/garbage rendering, dropped frames, washed out images because of cheap tricks to up performance.

I know this is more down to the weak (and proprietary) video cores included on these boards… but after spending a significant amount of time playing with them, I’m going to say “No, thank you.”

I really don’t care until I can buy one. In the meantime I have a few hdd’s and an old LTO4 drive…

That’s a matter of perspective. It’s new to new users and old to you. That doesn’t make it any less irritating to wade through, but that’s the curse of age.

You could always make one. And moderate it reponsibly.

hnnnnnng

So far the atmosphere here seems far more cooperative and optimistic… like a certain other place circa 2008.

I’m liking it, it’s a breath of fresh air and I’d forgotten that smell.

@TheDude@sh.itjust.works - Keep commercial interests / astroturfing etc. off this place like our lives depend on it!
